Fundamentalist Church plan to picket Foo Fighters show

Fri, 02 Sep 2011

The upcoming Foo Fighters show in Kansas City later this month will have a number of unwelcomed guests from the notorious Christian fundamentalist church Westboro Baptist Church, reports NME

Members of the extreme Christian faith church will descend on the Sprint Centre in Missouri on Sept.7 to protest against the 'hard hearted, hell-bound and hedonistic ways of the entertainment industry', according to a post on their official website.

The post read:

"The entertainment industry is a microcosm of the people in this doomed nation: hard-hearted, hell-bound, and hedonistic. These people have a platform and should be using it to encourage obedience to God; instead they teach every person who will listen all things contrary to him: fornication, adultery, idolatry, fags."

"The people in this nation have sinned away their day of grace and have so enraged their God that you are seeing new outpourings of his wrath continually. We will be there to remind you that the day of your destruction is upon you, even as you vainly seek comfort in the frivolities of this life."

Westboro's notoriety rose after a despicable PR stunt at the funerals of fallen US servicemen in which its members protested with placards that read 'God hates fags' & 'Thank God for dead soldiers.' 

The church, which is widely referred to as a 'hate-group' & is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League, have also picketed the funerals of high profile musicians such Michael Jackson & metal godfather, Ronnie James Dio.
